THE LEVEL OF DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION COMPETENCE AMONG TEACHERS BEFORE AND AFTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN ELECTRONIC EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The article reveals the importance of the use of educational technologies by teachers for the development of information competence. The application and development of information competence is very important at the present stage of education. First, the essence of information competence is described from different points of view in various scientific and theoretical works. Scientific researchers distinguish three stages of its development, which are conventionally designated as «Application – Adaptation – Development». The study of the level of development of information competence of teachers before and after the development of an electronic educational environment. At the beginning of the testing, the main ICTs used in daily practice by teachers of different age groups and work experience were identified. Further, we determined the behavior strategy of teachers of different age groups and based on work experience. Then the level of development of teachers' information competence was revealed by means of a diagnostic card. The number of respondents was 100 people of different age groups: under 30 years old, from 30 to 40 years old, from 40 to 50 years old, over 50 years old. Based on work experience, the study participants were divided into the following groups: experience up to 1 year, from 1 year to 3 years, from 3 years to 5 years, more than 5 years. There was a decrease in the level of information competence and the use of ICT with experience and with increasing age. It is revealed that the strategy of teachers' behavior in the field of information competence development tends to grow with a decrease in age and seniority. However, after the development of an electronic educational environment by teachers, the high level of information competence increased significantly in all the studied groups by age and experience.
